Basic method of making laomian bread

Dry
350gm hi protein flour
5gm instant yeast
10gm milk powder
40gm sugar
4gm salt

Wet
170gm cold milk
60gm cold egg

70gm laomian dough
40gm soften butter

Mix wet, dry, laomian dough together and knead to form a dough then add in butter. Knead to form a smooth and elastic dough.

Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it proof for 45mins. Then it is ready to be shape into any buns or loaf.

Im using 360 cold hi protein flour and omit the milk powder. My egg is 58gm so i use 172gm milk.. (as long as egg+milk = 230gm) and im using unsalted butter.

I knead using my #kmix stand mixer on low speed 25minz after i add in butter to reach window pane test.

Can use bm or hand knead (the dough is quite wet so hand knead will need a lot of muscle work)

I add in dried cranberries which i soak 15mins prior adding into the dough right b4 the 1st proofing.

After 45mins proofing i divide the dough into 16 portion and roll into a ball.. arrange into 8x8x3 square pan. Cover and let it rise for 45mins.

B4 baking i wash the top gently with melted butter. Then bake at preheated oven 180c for 15-17mins. Once remove from oven i wash the top again with melted butter. Let the melted butter dries up then remove the bun from pan and let it cool down completely before storing.

I have 5 more portion of dough in the freezer 😂😂😂 gonna bake more soon..

This laomian dough bun very rich and soft. Usually habis on the day itself after bake..
